Sharing the Love :)

I discovered the other day that an old friend and accomplished writer still loves me - after she nominated me for one of these Liebster Awards http://ajponder.wordpress.com/2013/03/24/yay-a-liebster-award-from-one-of-my-favourite-bloggers-um-whats-a-liebster-award/

And I thought - gosh that is really sweet - so I'm hoping some of the other bloggers I've nominated will share the love too :)

And more sharing more love 
We have quite a few fantastic speculative fiction writers (not to mention film and tv creators) in New Zealand and they would all love for their works to get a Vogel Award (as would I) so why not share the love and nominate some of your favs before March 31 2013 - they will really appreciate it :)

So send each nomination in seperate e-mails to: sjv_awards@sffanz.org.nz - with basic information about the book/project and (if possible) how to contact the creators/publishers and of course yourself, and voila, you are done!

My two eligable stories are below -  and there are also some great ideas here at SpecFic and here at Steampress (home of Mansfield with Monsters & the Prince of Soul and the Lighthouse).
